[DeeTracktor]

Bring on the gin tweets Phil! Take a big swig and try to convince yourself that a new chair surprise will save your business

 

[TheGreatWhiteNorth]

Holy fuck that lean-in for the "surprise" announcement was creepy. That, and the fact that he kept wiggling his eyebrows to the point that it no longer served to accent the "surprise", and just became cringy. And yeah, he bought a chair, just so he could not spin around for the piggies' amusement.

Dave pioneered unboxing videos

Beyond anything else this is the video that epitomizes DSP for me

The man is such a mess of a human, so devoid of talent, physical and mental capabilities, that he fails at doing a fucking unboxing video

 

[King of Not Playing Games]

Maybe he's getting money from his parents. Regardless we've known he's financially irresponsible and a compulsive spender. Maybe he doesn't get any dopamine hit from WWE Champions anymore and his addiction is going to migrate to buying worthless garbage and flaunting it on stream.

Forget Gamepass nights just pay up for the marathon

I will say that it will not be a new Webcam.

He knows he is ugly as fuck. He has admitted it.

He doesn't want people seeing him in crystal clear 4k resolution or even 1080p. can you imagine the screen shots ? Oof. A lot of "horrific" reactions will hit the farms that day.

The green screen and chair may be a possibility. I got a really nice green screen for less than 50 USD off amazon and it's been great for my zoom meetings.

Oops. I mean a co-worker donated it to me "behind the scenes".

 

[DerichLovesNWA]

A few things

He admitted that he accepts tips from unverified paypals during the early stream. He has not announced this before, but when someone complained that they couldnt tip because verification was taking a long time, he just casually admitted that he verifies the tips himself if they are unverified. Before it was verified or bust. Curious.

The stalling is ridiculous. he has got out of his chair 5 times and walked away just to kill time. Pastryachy is getting fleeced for $50 a pop. This game could have ended 10 streams ago if you cut out the getting up and about, another 30 if you removed begging.

He has made tip rewards so he is always constantly just a small amount from the next goal. And when he reaches the goal, he then moves the goal posts to the next goal "only x away from y goal". These are cultish and exploitative behaviors that are just disgusting. This point alone I want him banned from streaming. Its fucking disgusting. Give me those hats idc

Part of me wants to make a supercut video of all actual gameplay time in a stream to see how much he actually spends begging, ranting, etc vs doing the thing he’s expected to do.

and then the other part of me reminds me I have better things to do with my spare time.

 

[Don't bullshit us brother]

OIC sending him one of those walmart lemon gaming pcs.

 

[Full Race Replay]

OIC sending him one of those walmart lemon gaming pcs.

I remember one unboxing video from some guy who got a Walmart pc, and it had the windows installation on the wrong disk so it wouldn’t boot unless you hit a certain key to switch the boot drive. Would be fun to see Phil fumble his way though that.

Green screen will be too much work to set up, won't benefit him directly and will give great detractor content. It will be an "anonymously donated" chair.

The green screen and chair may be a possibility

I’ve seen some people mention green screen now and before the previous surprises on here and in other places. To be honest, I don’t know why anyone thinks it’s going to be a green screen or that he will ever get one set up again.

There are two key obstacles to DSP getting a green screen:
1. It requires work to both set up physically and inside obs (even though it’s easy) and we know how much dsp hates any amount of work.
2. It doesn’t directly make him money nor does it benefit him while streaming.

It’s going to be a chair.

Edit: didn’t see the post above mine since I’m on mobile but ya exactly

Think he was trying not to show his patchy beard.

I actually came here to ask something similar.

I've been out of the DSP loop for a while. We presume that last year DSP was buying all his gatcha stuff on Credit. However now that his credit is rocked, and (if someone is finance savy please let me know if a bank takes away your credit card after fumbling half a million like a moron) has to buy it all from his checking account. I'm genuinely confused on the situation. I understand he slipped through the crack because if any creditor or banker saw that his half a million dollar business was just sitting on his ass playing videogames they'd go ballistic.

Was it his "business" that went under, or him? So he could still be using credit?

That's a dangerous game to play because there's a fine line between crying poor and blowing 1k+ in a week on "donated" items.
Unless his house is already decked out with top of the line appliances and plastic shit like Blurays and figurines up to the point where he can't think of more worthless shit to buy I doubt he's going to continue buying shit for his stream. Unless, of course, he's actually worried that he's being propped by three whales and without them he'd be making 20 bucks per stream and is trying really hard to come up with ways to lure more wheelchairs to steal their disability checks or minimum wage income.

He had $5000 a MONTH in buisness expenses on his bankruptcy form. To sit on a chair and beg for money costs him five grand a month...

Which is a lot. This past month as an example, he has a new xbox series rip off, and a new $500-700 laptop and a new ''surprise'' probably a chair. Now add that up and it is nowwhere near $5000 is it even if you include ''Muh bills'' like electric, internet and so on

He has been moving his camera box around on screen as he switches from game to game. It will eliminate the box and leave just his face/body enhancing the stream. It would free up more game space on the screen.

Setting up the green screen took zero effort. I took it out of the box. Set it on the ground. Flipped one pole up and pulled the screen up and rested the top of it on a hook at the top of the pole. Tool less and took maybe 45 seconds.

Im realizing now after typing all of this that he ranted for 30 minutes a few weeks back about why would he ever get new lighting and green screens and do his hair (and said the rest in a "gay voice". He said his stream has always been about the guy on the couch at home playing vidya in his pajamas. Maybe it's none of the above.

I'm aware his shit stunk. Are you saying that presumably his expenses are still 5K? This after the Khando got taken away right? (I'm still wondering if he would've been better off just selling it at a loss)

 

[Jasper2K]

So now he's getting "gifted" a chair? Skys the limit for the king of suffering. Now that the bankruptcy and foreclosure (I think) are behind him he's going hog wild. He doesn't put any effort into his lies anymore because he always gets away with it. Phils getting that groove back he's getting that vibe back that he had in 2017. He's excited for the scams to come and he hopes you are too!

His expenses were NEVER $5K. The condo is still there, though it will eventually get taken away. His "$5K in business expenses" were a result of him putting what he was spending on gacha

 

[DeeTracktor]

His 5k expenses was how he sold the Judge on his bankruptcy by claiming his gatch habit as a business expense. It indicates how much he is/was spending on gatcha. Because anyone with common sense will know it doesnt cost you 5 grand a month to beg in a chair.

So to answer your original question, Phil personally went bankrupt by spending thousands a month on gatcha, and other shit like doordash at midnight for a snack, and an exercise bike he had to send back because attaching a seat was to hard for him.

He then used the fact that he streams on the internet to justify his personal gatcha habit. He didnt run his stream as a business at all, he used his inflated Twitch sub membership to really pay his bills and the tip money was just pocket money to him
